Released in England on Brunswick Records as Miss Dynamite Brenda Lee (that label  also issued a 78 RPM of "Dynamite" b/w "Love You Till I Die" in 1957), the  Brenda Lee album followed Grandma, What Great Songs You Sang by exactly a year,  debuting August 1, 1960, according to the singer's website. It launched three  songs into the Top Ten, "Sweet Nothin's," the Ronnie Self tune that went Top  Five a half a year before this album's release; the number one smash "I'm Sorry"  in June of that year; and its follow-up, "That's All You Gotta Do," all three  titles placed right in a row at the beginning of side two. "Dynamite" opens the  album and it is -- rockabilly pop from a young dynamo some called "the female  Elvis." She tears through "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" in a way that keeps the  song familiar, but allows the artist to pull it into her catalog. And that's the  success of this phenomenal breakthrough album -- a young singer who took control  of the mic and the material, calling it her own with an authority far beyond her  years. The album is a treasure that can stand up to repeated listenings years  after its creation. With the orchestra directed by Owen Bradley and backing  vocals from the Anita Kerr Singers, the young singer has direction and a touch  of class to give this phenomenal effort superb support. Just listen to her  devour John D. Loudermilk's "Weep No More My Baby" and wonder why it wasn't a  huge hit. "My Baby Likes Western Guys" could take on an entire new meaning  decades after it was recorded, was it sly innuendo or total innocence?  Songwriter Buzzy Linhart has stated that Brenda Lee's style and vocal tone  mirror that of Teresa Brewer, the woman who did "Jingle Bell Rock" prior to  Lee's seasonal hit "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree." That influence was no  doubt an essential ingredient in this most successful formula. The '70s had  Tanya Tucker, the '80s Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, while Britney Spears in the  '90s brought the century to a close. They all had hugely popular releases, but  this second album from Brenda Lee is the ultimate in a teen female performer  writing the rules and retaining the crown.
